Rickson type dealer for WEST Coast?

[PJay9]

Is there a west coast dealer like Rickson wheels for 19. 5 wheels? How do you like your 19. 5's, what tire... any comments? All appreciated! HNY everyone.

I have purchased several sets of 19. 5" steel wheels for dually's that are 6. 75" wide and offer the correct offset to mount either the 225 R70/19. 5" - 245R70/19. 5" tire... don't hold me on the aspect ratio... but the same rubber used on our F550 and new 08 5500...

We import those wheels in powder coated black... .

The wheels are load rated for the listed tires, and are hub centric. .

If you mount the 225, this tire is so close to the height of the stock 16" or 17" no other changes are needed... .

I have sets on my 04, 04. 5 and 05... . we run a new tire on the front with the UPS Bandag style cap on the rear... and usually see over a 100K miles per set of tires... The F550 now has over 500K miles on the chassis.....

I'm guessing that I'm at least 3-4 months out for more of them... . if you have any specific questions either post it here or write me...

What is the weight like compared to forged alum? Do you use the same lugs and does the OEM hubcap fit?



What sort of cost is the 6 wheels? Do you have a place for tires? Can you direct me to some photos, PLs?

Isn't the wheels on the 2004 3500 lugcentric? I have a SJR and could change the tire size without an issue to speed.

This may be interesting... do you ever see doing an aluminum wheel form where ever? THX for your response. PJ

These wheels are something like 55-60 lbs each and are designed as work wheels... . all my trucks are dually's and are hub centric...

My vendor is building steel wheels for special run application trucks in Europe... . he does 50-500 wheels per run... . and only does steel... . I think at the high end their load rated to something like 4,800 lbs per wheel...
